Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When I enter a OpenAI Api Key, most of the models disappearing. Even models that do not relate to open ai like 4.5 sonnet, haiku.
In the days before I needed to enable the open ai toggle to enable api every time I restarted cursor.

Steps to Reproduce

Enter an Open AI Api Key. (No cursor usage left → Maybe this could be related)

Expected Behavior

Models should remain. Maybe the openai model names could change

Hey, thanks for the report. This looks related to a known regression affecting OpenAI API keys that the team is investigating: [Regression] - Custom Models

I’ll also attach your report to the investigation.
